Frequently Asked Questions
How does line-clamp work?
Use display: -webkit-box, -webkit-box-orient: vertical, and -webkit-line-clamp: N to limit to N lines. Overflow: hidden clips the text, and ellipsis appears automatically.
Is line-clamp supported without webkit prefix?
The standard line-clamp property is in CSS Overflow Level 4 spec but has limited support. The -webkit prefixed version works in all modern browsers including Firefox.
Can I animate line-clamp?
No, line-clamp isn't animatable. For expand/collapse effects, use max-height transitions or JavaScript to toggle between clamped and full text.
